    Peanuts Monopoly. 9/15/24

    Aww, this is a cute table top games, novelties, Pokémon stuff, sports cards (some), and toy store on 2nd Street in Long Beach. In the window and upon entry there are large stuffed animals that are kinda like greeters as you enter--the dinosaur and the giraffe. My hubby purchased a bag full of table top games. The gal at the counter was sweet and helpful. I actually got some sports cards of my favorite football team. There is a room in the back that can be reserved to play board games. It is street parking which was easy to find super close, just around the corner on a Sunday afternoon. I have been to other Game Chests at a couple of malls. This is a small one but, this shop sets itself apart from the other Game Chests because they have that cool neighborhood game store vibe. 4 stars!

    rental games!

    seriously such an awesome store with such passionate + helpful staff. these people who run this place truly care, beyond passionate, & have an awesome store. I don't appreciate reading any of these other none sense reviews that are less than 5 stars. long beach should support this store & stores like this bring people together and reminisce on games from their child hood. I think their rent a game option is the best thing ever!!! love this store so much and hope they are here to stay

    Left side interior of the store. Has party board games, playing cards, and brain teasers.

    You know, choosing your local game store really can be a long process. Finding the right physical…read morespace; the right kind of prices; the right vibe. FINCH & SPARROW is all 5's across the board. VIBE This store and staff have a welcoming attitude and space. They make room for all players; judgement free; with adjustable support. I'm more of a beginner, but I always get information delivered in a friendly and suppotive way way. And I see all the "pros" being and doing thier thing, too. So that's what I mean about adjustable. SPACE Lots of room for tables so it doesn't feel cramped. And lots of tables to boot. PRICING they carry a lot of singles. And thier prices are very fair. This store is a win/win.

    I decided to come here for my first Lorcana Set Champions. Since it was my first time coming here…read moreand first tournament. I called the day before to confirm the process. Their IG post stated it started at 11am, so the person on the phone told me to come an hour early for sign ups, which would be 10am. So the day came when the tournament started. Got there at 9:50am to make sure I get a spot since it was first come first serve, and the place was closed and no one was there. Waited until 10:20 and nothing. I was the only one there. Checked on google for store hours and they said they open at 12pm every day. So I'm confused why I was told to come at 10. If the event starts at 11. But store opens at 12. This definitely put a bad taste on my first experience and if I wanted to support this LCS.

    Bad service and poor communication…read more I've been trying to catalogue my MTG collection lately. I drove 40 min to get to this shop because they have a machine that scans your cards. I paid the shop to rent the machine and waited for 2 hours. Then the staff told me "We made a mistake setting this up. We can't give you the scanned info, but leave your cards behind and your email address, and we can send them over. You'll just need to scan this thing we send you." I was uncomfortable leaving my cards behind because they're important to me. But I didn't want to walk away empty-handed. So I decided to trust them and I left my cards behind. I didn't hear anything for 4 days. I had to call them and they said "Oh the employee you were talking to got sick. If you want to pick up your cards you can do that though." I asked "How about scanning my cards?" and they said "We'll message the sick employee and call you back to let you know what he says". I waited 3 more days and they didn't contact me at all. I realized they weren't going to reach out to me to resolve the issue, so I had to drive down to the store to demand my cards back. I don't know who the person running the back of the shop is. Maybe the manager. Maybe the owner. All I knew is that they had context on the whole situation and knew that I had returned to get my cards. They didn't bother to come over to talk to me. They didn't even give me eye contact. They didn't make even a single attempt at improving the situation. Not even an offer for store credit. Not even a sorry. They just shrugged and yelled across the room "machine's broken". Then they went back to puttering around and left another employee to deal with me. This other employee had no context on the situation. All she could do was hand me a cash refund and give me a confused "Sorry...?" I was treated like I was an annoyance. Someone who'd go away eventually if you ignored them. Not a respected customer who just wanted to do business. I'm not mad that the machine was allegedly broken. I'm only slightly mad that the employees aren't trained on how to use the machine. I'm frustrated that I paid for a service and they didn't bother seeing the job through to the end. They didn't communicate when they decided to give up. I trusted them with my personal card collection and they betrayed that trust. I don't even know if I have all my cards back, but I'll never know. Save yourself the stress.

    This is my weekly hangout for PFS2 games. Better than average acoustics for RP Games. Very…read morefriendly, helpful staff.

    So today I stumbled a Ross this amazing atmosphere and group of people at JUNKYARD CARDS in long…read morebeach. My daughter and I were just looking for penny sleeves and potentially some baseball cards. I noticed it was more TCG based store nurses a sports store, with my daughter being new and loving Pokémon and One Piece we stayed. The store had some basic cards for sale so my daughter and I went through them to help her build her little collection. Upon getting ready to purchase the store rep MIKE, overheard me tell my daughter it was time to pay so make her selections, Mike told her just takes emails. He told me how they love to donate when they can and that the couple of cards wouldn't hurt anything and it truly made my daughter day. She was so happy and she can't wait to go back and visit. The crazy thing though, they still kept the highest level of service with a full house for a card tournament they were hosting, which looked pretty cool ......lol Thank you Mike!!!

I love how the guys welcome you in and are friendly. We drive 30 mins away because not only are they nice, they have a wide selections of everything from pokemon, magic, one piece, rift bound, slabs etbs, bulk etc. The value is spot on and they are willing to make a deal so bring cash too as a tip. You can tell they have built a really sweet local community everyone who comes in and out have been regulars. It's clean and smells good in here. If you never checked this card shop out you should!
